I have never heard Tom get as giddy about liberty as he does about Jethro Tull in the beginning of this clip:

Also Tom has some very nice remarks about the Murphy-Krugman Debate midway through. If you’ve never heard Tom talk about his naughty teen years, you might want to watch this one. He broke the law, for real.

Matt, last night Tom felt bad about how he always puts out the same (free) material. So he assembled a host of new lectures on US history from an Austro-libertarian perspective that I promise you’ve never seen at Mises U or on YouTube. Here is the link, act now!

Your promise is somewhat accurate, but somewhat incorrect! I have seen these videos, as I am already a subscriber to Liberty Classroom! I decided long ago that I will throw money at whatever Tom Woods attaches his name to and never look back!

Fair point! I suppose that part was in fact new. You’ll have to forgive me, I spent yesterday at work (government job) doing nothing but watching your videos, so I may have confused some of them together.

I actually do remember now that I went back and re-played the part about Shays Rebellion a few times, because one of my co-workers was bothering me during it and it didn’t have my full attention, but I felt it deserved it.

Just this morning, I was thinking of posting how polite but firm and thorough Major Freedom’s posts are on the Sumner site. It is clear that Sumner does not understand Austrian concepts or analysis which is the real reason he will not engage MF directly on the merits in a polite but firm and thorough manner. Or even in a snarky manner. What else is new?
